From what I can remember he wen into this portal with moles and that like gold and shiny things and beat the boss then got an item that allowed him to control the servant moles and he farmed items I think.

It was a story about a human colony on a planet where there were mysterious alien precursor devices all over. Each one had two (drums? poles?). Something musical at any rate. You beat the two poles 64 times and it would create an item for you. ABABAB...AB got you a pot, IIRC; more complicated rhy...

According to the Frozen II's co-director Jennifer Lee, the voice that Elsa hears throughout the movie is her mother's voice. I am having a hard time reconciling this with the lyrics of the song "All is Found", which is the lullaby that is sung by Elsa and Anna's mother at the beginning of the mov...

I don't quite know the extended lore, but I'm pretty sure that it's established that the reason why we don't see modern weapons being used in the series is because magic and Muggle technology just don't agree somehow.

But before he dies he had already brought Luke into the whole equation who I am gonna assume was the 'new hope'. But in Rogue One, After being handed the death star plan...

In the 1980s in Amazing or F&SF I read a story about a contagious disease that caused people to be obsessed with talking about themselves. Asking "How are you?" was a common way for people to establish that they were not infected (since no one with the disease would ever say that). One person w...

I am returning to this topic over and over and with each iteration, I am realizing, that the main power of the ring is to destroy Sauron, unless I am missing something. The rings of power as created by Celebrimbor with Sauron's help have a vaguely but understandably defined powers, it gives it be...

We find this article https://www.discovermagazine.com/mind/what-happened-to-the-hominids-who-may-have-been-smarter-than-us which has at least been pointed out as being unprovable and I don't think the scientists continued to publish on this subspecies called Boskop man or at least I mainly see th...
